about the author

Jim Stack worked in commercial cabinet-and furniture-making shops for 16 years and ran his own furniture-making shop for 5 ½ years (that half a year is very memorable, so it's important to include it). For the past 6+ years, he's been the acquisitions editor for Popular Woodworking Books.

When Jim's not cutting wood he's cuttin' up in the woods — usually on his mountain bike.

Jim is the author of Northwoods Furniture, The Biscuit Joiner Project Book, Design Your Own Furniture, Building the Perfect Tool Chest and Cutting-Edge Router Tips & Tricks.
